Anybody else, deadline is a few days away! Maybe extend it until Sunday?

If we get 20 by Friday I would leave it like that did not expect to get that many players!! We need to arrange how the league will be set up etc after the deadline.

Carrickman

Anyone else intrested? One more entry to make it the even 20 would be handy!

Kingp35

I'm really looking forward to this league, I badly need some serious practice.

Come on lads there has to be one other person who wants to play!

Ok I will play but will only play my matches on dartpro. Sorry not at all willing to use ezchalk.

We may as well close entrys now as 20 is a good number, and I agree with the above DartsPro is the way to go on this that ezchalk was virus ridden the last time I looked.

Now how do we seed the groups? Go by ranking points or a open draw, we can also run this again when it's finished where we can work on a div 1 and 2 (top 5 teams in each group div bottom div 2) or what do ye think?.

Put me down as a reserve... i'm reluctant to put my name down as my connection is giving me trouble in recent weeks.

Yeah go with the boards ranking points I'd say and have 2 leagues with bottom/top 3 or so being relagated/promoted. I'll be in the second tier looking to be promoted quickly, bring it on!;):D

fair play to ya for looking after the ranking dion and to kingp and carrickman for organising, have to say it takes time to do these things even over the net so full marks to the three of ye.

ratinakeg

Will this be starting soon? Will we have to get in a few pre season friendlies first?;):D

Jaysus that's some top division. Relegation here I come

Carrickman

Right I have set up the website for this: http://boardsdarts.leaguerepublic.com/

I will enter the names once I'm 100% sure that the divisions are right so please check them out that they are ok.

So how are we going to play the games? best of 10 or is that too much?
Will we play each other twice like a "home" and "away" ("home" throws first)?
Can we manage two games a week?
Top 4 playoff or who finnishes top wins outright?
Promotion/relagation bottom two go down/top two going up with the third bottom and third in div 2 playing off.

All input welcome asap so we can get this off the ground!!

Kingp35

Here's my suggestions:

I think best of ten is perfect, but do it so once one person wins 6 legs it's over, don't bother playing out the remaining legs.

Personally I think we play each other twice, more practice!

Can we manage two games a week?

For this we should do it the way that Dion suggested. We should divide the fixtures into four blocks and post up the fixtures for block on and a deadline for when they have to be played. This way you can play all your matches in one night if you are only available for one night or you can play them over different nights. This just means there will hopefully be no walk overs making the League much fairer.

Top 4 playoff or who finnishes top wins outright?

I reckon top four should play off, up to you lads though.

Promotion/relagation bottom two go down/top two going up with the third bottom and third in div 2 playing off.

This sounds perfect to me.

AndyP

Best of 5 sets, 5 legs a set maybe with a tie break.

Carrickman

Regarding the best of 10 format I think they all should be played even if one players gets 6 we can use the legs won/lost like goal diffrence, you never know you could be 6-0 down and win the last four legs!

We could maby play that format in the next boards cup (which would be open at all) it would be a bit long for league matches.

How will games need to be set up on dartpro then because you can only go up to best of 15 which means if you go 8-0 up you will have to set up another game to play the remaining 2 legs. I personally think it should be an 8 leg match rather than 10 that way the games will be played in just one set up and you will get a true average etc.

We did it this way in the first boards tournament and some of the games went a bit too long so people asked me to change it to not playing them all out for the second tournament. I have no problem playing out all of the legs but I think it works a little better if you don't play them all out. I suppose it's up to what the majority thinks though.

You can pick about 7-8 players who could win the First Division, looks really tricky.

As for the Second Division I'm not sure where I'm going to finish as there are a few new people and the players I've played against before are really good players. Can't wait for my game with Padr, our last game was a classic!:D

My vote is for an 8 leg match

As in the same format as the Premier League?

I still think this might be a little long for some people. A first to 6 leg match might be better. I'll leave it to Carrickman to decide though, this is his baby!

No, just play 8 legs, ie: 7-1, 6-2, 5-3 or a 4-4 draw.

Sounds fine to me, any other points or ideas before I make the draws?

3 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw

Top league looks a tough division, glad im not in it lol, I averaged 75 against Scunner and Ste and 70 against Dion and got hammered in all 3. Only point I got was against you and that was indeed a cracking game, tit for tat.

Second div is tought too some nice players and I think you'd need to be touching 70 for the entire tournie to make the playoff once it kicks off.

dionsiseire

Id personally prefer premier league format because the idea is to get practice, the fact we've got 2 people at computers should mean we utilise the time, might as well play

also the premier league is done with leg difference but once a player hits the winning mark its over, playing out the final legs whilst knowing you've lost means you wont play at your best regardless of how many say they will.

Best of 14 means that it can be as short as 8 legs, but in a classic it could be 7-7

again down to carrickman but i would prefer that should i lose the first 3 legs that i would have time to hit my stride without looking at the 4th leg and thinking, if i lose this the best i can get is a draw.

looking at the top division, i feel i could be taking a beating all season long

I might go with this as dionsiseire puts the point across well, it will be 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. When I make the fixtures I will put Mondays and Sundays on them it will be up to the two players to sort out the night of the games.
